ive always wondered how democracy functions for so long when you cant unelect officials that are tacitly corrupt.

1. It can't. 2. It never has. 3. It's not supposed to.

Per the article:

> Kim cited a 2023 survey of New Jersey voters where 84 percent agreed that state politicians are at least “a little” corrupt

The options in the survey were:

* Not at all corrupt * A little corrupt * Somewhat corrupt * Very corrupt * Not Sure/Don’t Know [Vol] * Refused [Vol]

Honestly I don't find that particularly damning. Nobody's perfect.
